Spanish term

Cepillo negativo

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Knee
I think that "cepillo negativo" is short for "cepillo rotuliano negativo" and means "negative Sage sign" or "negative patellar glide test" but I am not sure.

Is there anyone out there familar with the translation of knee examination terms?

patella grind test negative

AFAIK, these "cepillo" tests (lateral and straight) are performed to elicit patellar crepitation in case of chondropathia or arthritis. This is called 'patella grind test' in English.
